That’s why MSNBC has #1 status (ratings raw numbers are never mentioned)- the former #1 Fox, has lost tons of viewers to the more extreme networks Newsmax and OAN.

MSNBC doesn’t need more viewers to be #1, they just need the former #1 to lose viewers.

More Americans get their news from right wing extremist networks than from MSNBC and CNN.

That’s why viewership has exploded at Newsmax and OAN, not at MSNBC.

MSNBC has retained their regular core viewership, but not expanded it since the election. They are #1 only because the Q cultists left Fox for more extreme sources.

MSNBC and CNN would always split the ratings of the sane people, and Fox News would brag about how high their ratings were. It was never a fair comparison.

Now that they split with Newsmax, OAN, and Crazybook online made up news, we can compare the ratings on an equal footing.

Some of their shows are better than MSNBC... certainly better than Chuck or Mrs. Greenspan.

people want the truth and accurate info instead of lies!!

Considering we are off of Drumpf news - and onto Biden truthful & empathetic president - that people do want to watch so called boring news by repukes (it is not boring to me).

We know Fox has been bleeding viewers to Newsmax and OAN, dropping them from their usual first place slot, but nowhere in the data I have seen are any info on MSNBC’s raw viewership numbers- have they gone up significantly or stayed the same?

I think it’s safe to say that if you combined the numbers for Fox, Newsmax and OAN, they surpass MSNBC’s numbers, and probably MSNBC and CNN combined- more Americans are still watching RWNJ news compared to other sources.
